Hey everyone,
I went to the MoCCA comic book extrah-va-gahnza yesterday (which was great, by the way - my first time going), and had the chance to meet Michael Kupperman (Snake n' Bacon, Tales Designed to Thrizzle). I know that most of you know his work, but if you've never been exposed to it, I highly recommend it. Some of the smartest comedy I've ever read, especially in comics. He was a really nice dude; great to talk to and really generous with his time.
Anyway, I asked him if I could bother him for a sketch. Knowing that he drew the t-shirt design for the last Best Show premium, I couldn't help it; I asked for a sketch of Tom Scharpling. This was the result, which I'll let speak for itself. (Though I'll add that it's quickly become a personal favorite in my collection.)

hahahahaha.... that's great. Michael Kupperman is awesome.
-
On my own I'm not sure I'd have pictured Tom as the mutant baby of Henry and the Monopoly Man, and yet--
in a non-literal sense, it feels right.
-
This baby looks like a real captain of industry!
-
He captured Tom's eyes with photographic quality.
-
Michael Kupperman is one of my very favorites and I think this is an amazing picture! Somehow it gets the attitude (?) of Tom perfectly. I LOVE IT
-
That's great and he sometimes can be a big baby.
-
Get ready to get hit by the rattle all you blasphemous conspirators!!!
HOW DARE YE!

Ohh, I'm votin' for that baby. We need an outsider to shake things up.

I met him at MOCCA too, what a nice guy! and he remembered me from twitter, which is holy lord wow.
I bought the original art from the "Love's Tiny Robot" page and am so goddamned amped about it.

He's only been in Washington for 4 months.
